Chapter 1870: Chapter 1490: Bottleneck (2)
"Also."
...
On the other side, after Su Mo hung up the communication, he fell into deep thought, with a hint of gloom in his expression.
"By refusing them and not going to Star Ring City for training, is that okay?"
The creator·Swallower asked in a low voice.
"It’s fine. They’ll just think I’m slacking off at most. Let’s not talk about those things. Let’s go to the old man."
Su Mo replied in a low voice.
"Hmm."
.....
Not long after, inside a secret laboratory.
Su Mo was submerged in a biological container, the training equipment constantly emitted loud buzzing sounds.
The old man was staring at the timer while checking Su Mo’s state.
At this time, the timer displayed 57 minutes, but Su Mo’s state had already shown violent fluctuations, his face starting to show a pained expression.
The old man quietly observed all of this.
When the timer reached 1 hour and 12 seconds.
Ka~
The training facilities stopped working.
Subsequently, Su Mo was ejected, finding himself half-kneeling on the ground, supporting his body with one hand on the floor, gasping heavily, his face extremely pale.
After a few minutes, he finally calmed down and looked up at the old man.
"How was it?"
"Not good, 1 hour and 12 seconds, a regression of over ten seconds from the previous score."
The old man said hoarsely.
Listening to this, Su Mo’s brows furrowed tightly, and he slowly stood up, his expression resolute as he said.
"Again!"
The old man raised his hand and, hoarsely, told Su Mo.
"No need, you’ve hit a bottleneck now, you won’t break through in a short time. First, take a break, adjust your state thoroughly, and then continue training."
The old man said decisively to Su Mo.
Su Mo listened to the old man, feeling a bit resigned, though he knew the old man was right, he was still a bit unwilling.
"Alright, by the way, how long can you hold on, old man?"
The old man glanced at Su Mo and hoarsely said: "Never calculated, but it’s enough."
Hearing the old man’s words, Su Mo’s expression was extremely varied; such confidence and strength are indeed required to say it’s enough.
"Alright."
"You should go back, there’s no need to come by recently. It’s just that I’m also busy with some matters."
The old man showed no intention to chat further with Su Mo and directly waved his hand for him to leave.
Su Mo left reluctantly.
...
At night, Su Mo lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
The creator·Swallower asked in a low voice: "What’s wrong, still thinking about training?"
"Yeah, I feel that resting doesn’t help much with adjustment. I’m gradually adapting to high-intensity training now; I can completely continue training, which increases the probability of breakthrough."
Su Mo discussed his thoughts seriously with Xiao Shi.
"You aren’t entirely wrong, but you definitely can’t go to the old man."
The creator·Swallower replied deeply.
"It’s fine, there’s still the training area in Star Ring City."
Su Mo thought for a moment and replied.
"Aren’t you afraid of running into Xia Weiya and the others? They’ve invited you quite a bit, and explaining if you don’t meet them will be difficult."
"No worries, I’ve thought it over, I can go train early and avoid it."
"Suit yourself."
The creator·Swallower said no more.
---------------
Early the next day at five o’clock.
Su Mo arrived early at the inner training grounds.
The entire inner layer of the training ground was quiet with no one around, but that’s normal. After all, such high-intensity VI generation biological mecha training projects, even for the Royal Order of Twelve Knights, place a considerable load on the body and are not a daily routine.
Additionally, this training project is open for the long term, so there’s no need to rush or queue; most of the time, the training machines are vacant.
Soon, Su Mo adjusted his state, approached the training equipment, and summoned the virtual operation interface.
He set the delayed start and then went to change into his training clothes, entering the training equipment.
When the countdown ended, the training equipment started, and Su Mo slowly closed his eyes.
At that moment, the entire training ground quieted down.
Soon after, in the inner room of the training chamber, the indicator lamp suddenly dimmed, and the door was opened.
Cold Icaroya came out, and as she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped, turned to look at the machines in operation, and saw Su Mo inside.
She showed a thoughtful expression, then walked up to the second-level observation deck, gazing quietly at Su Mo as he trained.
Time ticked away.
Soon, fifteen minutes passed, and Su Mo was still inside the machine.
Then half an hour passed.
Icaroya glanced at the time, her eyes slightly moved, and she continued to patiently watch.
Eventually, as the timer reached one hour, Su Mo’s expression grew increasingly painful, quickly reaching his limit, and then he was ejected.
Seeing this result, Icaroya turned around and left.
After a bout of intense coughing, Su Mo gradually recovered, glancing at the timer.
hour and 03 seconds.
Su Mo couldn’t help but shake his head, slowly sighing.
"Not good, still can’t break through."
"Take it slow."
The creator·Swallower advised.
"I understand, let’s go rest; battle again tomorrow."
Su Mo replied deeply.
"You’re really recklessly brave, better skip tomorrow and train the day after."
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"Be careful lest your strength doesn’t improve, and you drop dead early; then you can give away the foundation you’ve built."
The creator·Swallower directly mocked.
"Stop, I’ll listen to you."
Su Mo felt a bit embarrassed for a moment, quickly responding.
